OT Sad Pet News

You might notice my sig block has changed.

My beloved Enness passed away tonight. The heat this week really took its toll and she was suffering progressive heart failure. I could not stand to think of her being distressed or in pain so we took a trip to our local vet who confirmed that there was little if anything they could do for a cat her age. Enness (aka Poddy) was 18yo. I might have been able to medicate her but it would have been only a very short term help - maybe a week or two - and she hated taking tablets at the best of times, so I gave her this last gift of peace. Such a sad decision we so often have to make for our friends, but not one I regret.

This is how I will remember her

I am so very sorry! You are going through a very difficult time, and it just plain HURTS. To quote I-don't-know-who "it takes a heart both strong and loving to make the right decision". But making the right decision doesn't make it any easier. Please accept my condolences.

I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. I lost my own kitty, Ian, about three weeks ago. He passed away peacefully overnight. He would have been 20 years old on April 1. He lived a healthy, happy, good life but it really leaves an empty space around here!
